Duduzile Lunga, who attended UW–Madison as an international exchange student in the fall of 2018, is a finalist for KFM 94.5’s Teacher of the Year award in Cape Town, South Africa. Lunga is one of 10 finalists the radio station selected out of over 3,500 nominees.
Lunga is a math teacher at Pinelands High School in Cape Town, South Africa.
“I would not be where I am if it was not for the amazing education I received at UW–Madison,” said Lunga. “Completing the Early Childhood Education course (in the School of Education’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction) gave me a great deal of insight into working with young children. The Professional Development and Organizational Learning course (in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis) prepared me for some of the challenges I would face in the workplace.”
While at UW–Madison, Lunga was a recipient of the Exchange and Visiting International Student Excellence Award.
